How Hbarter works

Find your NFT. Find your people.

Search verified Hedera NFT collections, meet the collectors who hold them — and trade only if you want to.

No wallet needed to look around

Hbarter runs on Hedera Mainnet.

Illustration: verified collections as hubs on a map, with collectors linked to the collections they share.

Find

Start with what you love.

Search verified collections by name or 0.0.x token ID on the homepage. Open one to browse its NFTs — or, with a serial number, open that exact NFT and see which Hedera account holds it.

  • Verified collections only — not every NFT on Hedera.
  • A holder's account isn't always a Hbarter member.

Meet the people

Collections connect collectors.

Search Collectors by username or 0.0.x account, or pick a collection to see who holds it. A profile shows the verified NFTs a collector holds, plus any links they chose to add.

Holders, not every wallet
Hbarter members and other Hedera wallets holding verified collections — not every Hedera wallet.
Refreshed periodically, not live
Holdings are indexed and refreshed periodically, so counts can be partial or a little behind. Hedera's record is what counts.
No DMs or follows
Hbarter has no chat. Any X or website link is one the collector added.

Illustration: one collection with the collectors who hold it linked around it, and one profile opened.

Be found

Your collection is your introduction.

Hold an Hbarter-verified collection and Collectors may already include your wallet. Signing in — one short message in your wallet, not a transaction, and it moves nothing — makes that Collector profile yours, so people who share your collections can find you by name.

  • Same Hedera account, one Collector profile — there is no hide switch, and your profile page can be opened by anyone with its address.
  • Your NFTs appear once your holdings are indexed — for example after you open your own profile.
  • Who can send you Collector Offers is your call — Everyone or Nobody, in Edit Profile. It never changes whether you are listed.

Choose your move

Trade when you're ready.

Finding something — or someone — never commits you to anything. When you want to trade, there are two ways in.

Illustration: one NFT with two paths — straight to a collector, or onto a listing.

Collector Offer

Offer to a collector

Offer your NFTs for theirs, straight from their profile — no listing needed, if they accept offers.

You can offer

  • NFTs for NFTs
  • 1–5 a side
  • Public on their profile, with your account.
  • Your NFTs stay in your wallet, but while the offer is open they can't go into a new Hbarter listing.

Listings

Use a listing

Make an offer on a listing — or list 1–5 of your verified NFTs and let offers come to you.

You can offer

  • NFTs, 1–5
  • HBAR
  • An approved token

With Choice Swap you pick only the NFTs you want from the lister's pool; with a Choice NFT offer, the lister picks from a pool you offer.

  • The lister accepts one offer — never a mix.
  • Listings and offers are public — HBAR amounts included.

Either way, sending an offer moves nothing, and open offers don't expire. Nothing trades until both sides approve the swap.

Approve on Hedera

Both sides decide. Hedera settles.

Accepting moves nothing — it opens a swap page for the two of you.

Illustration only, not a live swap: the trade is reviewed, each wallet approves on its own, then Hedera settles both sides together.

  1. Review

    Check the exact trade on Hbarter — every NFT each way, plus any HBAR, token or fee for your side. Your wallet may show only a schedule ID.

  2. Approve

    Each side approves the same trade in their own wallet — in a Secure Swap, at different times and in either order, within the swap page's window.

  3. Settle

    Hedera runs it as one all-or-nothing transaction. Hbarter records it after Hedera confirms.

Not every wallet request is a swap.

Moves no NFTs

  • Connect your walletPairs your wallet so Hbarter can ask for approvals.
  • Sign inA free message, not a transaction.
  • Associate a tokenIf needed, a separate transaction that lets you receive a token. You pay its Hedera network fee, and it stays even if the trade doesn't happen.

Can move assets

  • Approve the swapYour side of the same trade. Assets move only when Hedera runs it.

What it costs

Hbarter's swap fee is 2 HBAR from each side, paid inside the swap — and only if it succeeds. The swap page shows the exact amount, or a promotional waiver, before you sign.

What else can a trade cost?

If it doesn't go ahead

If time runs out, either side cancels before both have signed, or Hedera rejects it, nothing in the swap moves and no swap fee is charged. A token association stays done.

Stay in control

Know what's public. Know what you sign.

  1. What's public

    Your profile page and your Collectors card, open Collector Offers — including who sent them — and listings with their offers.

  2. What's checked

    Collector holdings are indexed, not live. Before a swap is built and when you sign, Hbarter re-checks ownership on Hedera — and Hedera refuses the whole swap if anything changed.

  3. What you sign

    Only approve a wallet request that appears right after you press a button on Hbarter — for a swap, Review & Sign Swap. Hbarter never DMs you to sign or asks for your recovery phrase.

Checks reduce risk; they don't remove it. A confirmed Hedera transaction can't be reversed.
